"I heard all the time at IBLCE that the test was too expensive, joining ILCA
was too expensive, and people had to maintain other professional licenses,
memberships, and requirements. Well, to me it is simply a matter of
priorities. If you choose to buy a pair of new jeans or go out to dinner once a year
rather than join ILCA, don't complain about what ILCA provides you. The more
members ILCA has, and if a US affiliate is formed, the more effective the
organization will be. Being an IBCLC is either important to you or not. You
decide."
Barbara what a wonderful huge post and full of great points. Membership in ILCA is crucial to anyone who supports, promotes and protects breastfeeding. It is open to anyone, even if they are not an IBCLC or actively practicing as a Lactation Consultant. I personally feel anyone involved in WIC, Breastfeeding Coalitions, LLLI, Maternal Child Health and *all* IBCLC's would benefit from membership. I strong National and International Organization is what is needed to make changes in the eyes of the public, government workers and pulblic leaders.
